EGR/AIR block off plates

I just installed my shorty headers. I need to get the block off plates for the air tube from the back of the intake manifold to the pass side header.
Where is the best place to get them? Ebay?

Is it worth deleting the EGR?

Re: EGR/AIR block off plates

I actually just cut some aluminum cans to shape with some shears. I made four plates total and used two on each for strength. The nuts and bolt both do a good job of keeping the plates mated flush but as insurance I also used a small film of rtv. Your in CA so I don't need to tell you about emissions. Although it is one step closer of "clearing" up the engine bay, do so at your own risk.


Cost me 30 minutes.

I don't think I could ever run pieces of an "aluminum can" when I can get the perfect setup for ~$20 or so.

The tube from the exhaust manifold to the back of the intake manifold is part of the EGR system, not the AIR system. There is no performance gain in deleting the EGR.

Shoebox has a photo of all the EGR components.
